I am better than Joe and Joe makes $1 so I want $2. It's entertainment and those that succeed get paid a lot of money. I don't know the going rate off hand, but I bet leading actors in movies now are getting over $1 million.

I hate the Yankees, but Derek Jeter is the epitome of class. Don't know whatchu mean, Willis.
